Toxicity and removal efficiency of pharmaceutical metabolite clofibric acid by Typha spp. – Potential use for phytoremediation?

A study was conducted to assess Typha spp.’s ability to withstand and remove, from water, a metabolite of blood lipid regulator drugs, clofibric acid (CA). At a concentration of 20 lg L 1, Typha had removed >50% of CA within the first 48 h, reaching a maximum of 80% by the end of the assay. Exper...
